The game started slowly with both teams having chances on goal.

Ballyclare had a number of good chances, but Peacock’s back four of Ryan Kealey, Thomas Malone, Matty Barr and Zak Tosh held firm.

Oran Kneeland opened the scoring for the under 11’s, soon after Matthew Barr made it 2-0 and it was 3-0 soon after through an own goal.

After the restart the Coleraine side took only 25 seconds to score a fourth. Joshua Tennent found Andy McAfee at the back post, and Andy made no mistake from close range.
